Indeed. In particular there are cases where Negotiate would fail and we
just need to use NTLM instead. And to *enable* Basic auth, which is
disabled by default.

I disabled Basic by default for proxies since the password would be sent
as cleartext. That's not true for general HTTP auth but Basic is
disabled by default there anyway.

I've implemented openconnect_set_http_auth() now.
